The charges were in connection to an incident in April in which Harris got off his bus to use the bathroom at High Point High School. Prosecutors said at the time, four children were on the bus, which rolled down a hill toward an elementary school bus stop. A 6-year-old was hit and suffered minor injuries.

"This sends a message that this type of negligent behavior will not be tolerated, and certainly Mr. Harris should never be allowed to drive a school bus again," said Prince George's County state's attorney Angela Alsobrooks.

Prosecutors are also asking for Harris to get three years of supervised probation at his sentencing, which is scheduled for Nov. 7.
